abstract
One of the biggest challenges today is to promote various teach- ing methodologies that accompany scientific, technological, so- cial, cultural, economic, and environmental development, with a view to contributing to the training of professionals who know how to transfer theoretical knowledge to practice, in order to develop a more stable society. The main objective of this study is to understand whether active methodologies result in greater development of 21st-century capabilities in higher education. A systematic review of the literature was carried out, identifying published scientific studies on the subject under study, in the Scopus, Scielo, Web of Science, and PubMed databases, consid- ering certain eligibility and exclusion criteria defined according to the MOOSE recommendations, and that allows us to answer the following research question: what does the literature review about active methodologies in higher education? According to the literature, active methodologies in teaching/learning have shown positive results and can be improved, successfully applied, and supported as creative and relevant pedagogical strategies. On the other hand, they present the most varied definitions, revealing a diversity of challenges and a variety of models that can be followed. This project work demonstrates that active learning methodologies, such as problem-based learning and co-creation, present themselves as innovative methods, used in different educational institutions, at the most different levels, and have achieved important results in learning and develop- ment of professional capabilities. As they are models that are neither fixed nor closed, they can be adapted to the different realities and needs of the courses and study contents.
